I've read several reviews now and get the sense in terms of playability the original Donkey Kong (GB) is better than most of the newer versions? I haven't heard anything bad about the DK Countrys yet, but I have my doubts about some of the others.
What is your overall impression of the series and recommendations? (Gameboys and other systems too.)
Thanks

Re: Donkey Kongs
The original on the gb is VERY good. Dk Country 1-3 on the snes are fantastic and deserve your attention. I would also suggest playing the DK land games (yellow carts). I loved playing those growing up.Dude wrote:I've read several reviews now and get the sense in terms of playability the original Donkey Kong (GB) is better than most of the newer versions?

Re: Donkey Kongs
I loved DKC for the SNES (still have the original one I bought, in fact) and I am loving the new DKC Returns for the Wii.

Re: Donkey Kongs
Donkey Kong on Game Boy is one of my favorite platformers ever. I do like the original DKC a lot too but I feel that it is more due to nostalgia and not great gameplay. I've played DKC2 as well but I just can't seem to get into it.

I never really played much Gameboy (other than Mario and Tetris), is this worth emulating?Croooow! wrote:Donkey Kong on Game Boy is one of my favorite platformers ever.

Re: Donkey Kongs
Definitely. The platforming in that game is nothing short of brilliant. IMO its better than Super Mario Land 2.Stark wrote:I never really played much Gameboy (other than Mario and Tetris), is this worth emulating?

Re: Donkey Kongs
How does Mario Vs. Donkey Kong for GBA stand up? I heard good things about it when it came out, but haven't played it.
